In order to place thicker cables underground, streets have to be opened; residents will be inconvenienced by this. And people also experience blinking lights in their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solutions for grid congestion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Grid operators are working hard to stabilize the power grid through infrastructure adjustments and strategic local solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the solution also lies with the residents themselves. Especially by adjusting electricity consumption to times when renewable energy is abundant.
